The 2022 Vintage
Le Serre Nuove is the second wine of Ornellaia, one of the original Super Tuscans and a benchmark name on the Bolgheri coast. It is made by the same team, from the same estate, using fruit from the younger vines - so it carries the estate's style and polish in a wine you can open now rather than wait years for.
It's a Bordeaux-style blend led by Merlot, filled out with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, grown on the marine and alluvial soils that give Bolgheri its depth. The grapes are hand-picked and sorted, then the wine spends time in French oak barrels, a quarter of them new - enough to add a layer of spice and polish without sitting on top of the fruit.
The result is smooth and elegant rather than heavy: ripe blackberry and dark cherry, a touch of cedar, tobacco and Mediterranean herb, with fine tannins and a fresh, savoury finish. Medium-bodied and seamless. Serve at 16-18C.
